Apples to Oranges

Kuechly was a generational player, especially with his mental side of the game which helped the defense in a way few (if any) other defensive players ever have.  If there was another Kuechly, then yea, it's a different story in how important of a player they would be to the defense.

Also, the game has changed in even the short time since Luke retired,  I think an elite corner is the 2nd most important player to have on defense after an elite pass rusher with how the game is played these days.

Couldn’t disagree with you more. The Eagles showed you what investing in the front seven will do. Ignore it all you want.

Revis and Gilmore, along with Ramsey are the only two guys I can think of that really impacted games. However, what did those guys always have in front of them? A great front 7. 

Without a good front seven, any corner is going to have issues. Without a good front 7, you will still lose games, no matter if you have the best corner of all time. 

I get your point, but I follow the money. Corners are paid a premium. Why would teams do that if it wasnt a priority?

It's a sad sign when there's some panic over losing josey jewell

One of the few bright sides of having a sh*t roster...if a player goes down, it doesn't really hurt that bad. lol

And then you need to add in scheme what's the point of having and elite corner if you don't let him shadow and shut down the opposition WR1

It’s a shame that we didn’t build a strong enough/positive rapport with Frankie Luvu that would’ve convinced him to sign back with us a few years back. Still hate seeing him on the Commanders. 

Yeah letting him walk hurts

Pretty sure we offered him similar money. He just wanted to play for Dan Quinn and his defense. 

I think we actually offered him a little more. I get the feeling he didn't like Evero's defense or how he was used.

Well it saves on cash if you can rely on a rotation of guys because your front seven is so good. Ron Rivera made Kurt Coleman look like a god, for example.

    • Dave would have the excuse/logic that he hasn’t been able to bring a QB that fits his O.  That was the prior HCs QB and it got that HC fired with quickness.   Can’t expect Dave to win this year without a QB if he went 5-12.  Morgan tied Bryce to him by not dealing him.   Be horrible this year and Dave isn’t getting more time most likely 
    • That's a serious word salad. Anywho. Both Justin Fields and Daniel Jones have always had something Bryce Young does not possess. The necessary physical tools.
    • What it feels like is a horrible source reality. What a person sees is a horrible source for reality. Stats can be easily misunderstood because because they are interpretive and contextual. Very large data sets with dozens more more connected variables are difficult to deal with and understand correctly. Throw in confirmation bias, abstraction, emotions and the way human brains are wired make it really easy to roll with eye tests and intuition. The negativity for Bryce was really high and most were ready to trade that asset for peanuts until the second half of last year when he began to play much, much better.  Hope sprang eternal.  The Saints game last year.  Going toe to toe and almost beating the two teams who went to the Superbowl last year.  Beating the Falcons when the Falcons had everything to play for.  Haters started adjusting their tune. Fan and media starting saying it looks like Carolina has found their franchise QB.   The real answer was and is, maybe. If he plays great on Sunday the anti-Bryce crowd will find other excuses or say it's only one game. If he plays horrible, it'll be more of the "I told you so. I knew it before he was drafted." (which is beyond stupid since there there is not an actual way to know if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.) I'll leave with a simple example.  Of the initial list of incompletions due to WR error, Jarod Goff has 0.  He was 31 for 39 at an almost 80% completion percentage.  His WR's much has balled out. Except when you add the facts that only 11 of those passes were to WRs.  14 were to RB's and 6 to the TE.  Gibbs has 10 of those receptions and he's elite so that explains why we shouldn't put much stock into this stat.  But then we see that Gibbs also set an NFL record with the least number of yards (31) for any player with at least 10 receptions in a game. Fun stuff! Oh yeah.  From week 1 how many people had Justin Fields and Daniel Jones playing at elite levels?
